Nightmare at La Rosaleda, Juande’s fifth injury and VAR complaints

Sounds like a bible story. Málaga has gone from seven fat cow games at La Rosaleda to as many skinny ones. In the first stage of splendor he added 17 points out of 21, in the second only three. A very poor streak that explains by itself how the team has gone from fighting to get into the playoffs to trembling because those below press and the descent is like the wolf, nobody believes that it is coming until you see its ears.

Juande’s fifth injury. The Cordovan center-back had to be substituted after half an hour of the game after feeling some discomfort in the back of his left leg. The club reported that he suffers from an injury to the left hamstring muscle and is therefore awaiting evolution. It was his second game after recovering from the last setback and now he will have to stop again. It is his fifth injury, three of them muscular. In his place came the young Andrés Caro, who did not do badly. The quarry always to the rescue.

Brandon’s Complaints. This is how the Majorcan spoke about the grab, inside the area, that he received from Pascanu not observed as a penalty by the referee. “I am very surprised that VAR does not enter this play because it is very clear. He tells me that the referee is insufficient. If this is insufficient, turn off and let’s go. He has deprived us of earning the three points that we have deserved”.

Febas goes to more. This player is one of the good news that this Malaga is leaving, which has not yet taken off. “We are growing up. It is the line to follow, but you miss points that would come in handy. The team is growing, but I’m leaving upset because we deserve more. We have had many situations in three quarters. Little by little we are being superior to our rivals”.

One euro for Ukraine. Málaga allocated one euro from each ticket it sold to help Ukraine, which is suffering from the horrors of war. Bearing in mind that just over 2,000 were dispatched… do the math. Any help is appreciated.

The drama of the goal. It is important to appreciate that Málaga have kept a clean sheet eight days later. But scoring costs more than winning a Primitive. The team has not achieved it in eleven of the 31 days of this strange championship.

Fuenlabrada, the second home. And finally, to the ‘second Rosaleda’. The next game will be life to death for Malaga. They all are. Málaga will visit the Fernando Torres de Fuenlabrada, which was the stadium that the blue and white entity put as an alternative for the venue if, in the hard times of coronavirus, it was not possible to play at La Rosaleda. In addition there will be a significant displacement of followers. So far 400 tickets have been sold. There may be more Malaguistas in the reunion with Adrián González and Javi Ontiveros.
